Who calls from +44?
Family and friends in Britain, airlines, online stores and customer service teams based in the UK all show up as +44. If the call rings once and stops, or the voicemail asks you to call back an unfamiliar UK number, check it first: calling back is an international call, and you may be billed per minute.
A missed call from +44? Don’t call back yet
The one-ring scam works like this: an autodialer rings your phone once and hangs up so you call back. Returning the call can be billed as an international or premium-rate call, often per minute. The FTC and the D.C. Attorney General advise not to call back unfamiliar numbers and to ask your carrier to block outgoing international calls if you never make them.
